Step 1

When using FrontPage (or SharePoint), before publishing, your website has to be converted into a FrontPage "site" (or if using and earlier version of FrontPage, a "web").

If the site has not been created yet, go to File, New and choose "One page Web site..." from the menu on the right. That will prompt you were to save the site. It is usually a good idea not to create new websites within the folders of existing websites as one site can inherit some of the layout / design elements of the other.

Step 2

If your pages already exist, go to File, and then "Open Site".

Browse to the folder that your web site files are in, select the folder and then use the "Open" button in the lower right corner.

Step 3

If it has not been converted to a FrontPage "site" previously, you will be prompted to add information to the folder. This is normal, say Yes to the prompt.

NOTE: It is best if the main page of your web site is named "index.htm" as that keeps you from having to give out that file name when you give out your address to your site.

Step 4

Now, the layout should appear something like the following with the web pages on the left side of the screen in a "folder list". If you do not see it, try going to the "View" menu and then choose "Folder List". That settings toggles whether the folder list is visible or not.

Step 5

When you are ready to publish your site, go to "File", then "Publish Site".

Step 6

In the "Remote Web Site Properties" window that comes up, choose "WebDav".

In the "Remote Web site location" box, enter the following, being sure to add the "s" to "https://" which makes the connection secure. You won't be able to connect without it and the check box below.

https://webdav.longwood.edu/yourelancernetid

Check the box for "Use Encrypted Connection (SSL)"

Step 7

When prompted for your credentials, enter your lancernetid@longwood.edu and your current LancerNet password.

It is best if you choose not to Remember your password, particularly if you are not on your own computer.

Step 8

Upon connecting, you will see a view similar to what is below. The "Local Web site" on the left is the files on your computer. The "Remote Web site" is what files are currently out on the server. Depending on your previous work, you may see a "portfolio" folder and/or a "student" folder on the right side. Moving files into the right side of the screen makes them available through the internet.

To move them, select all (or just) the files you want on the Local Web site side. You can select individual files out of order by using the CTRL key and left clicking on the icons. To select all you can left click on the first icon in the list and then SHIFT left click and that will highlight all files. Use the blue right pointing arrow to move files out to the web.

You can also not select any files and use the options in the lower right corner for publishing all changed pages for the site. This may be beneficial for a large site on a slow connection so that you just send the files that have changed. Use the "Publish Web site" button to begin the process.

Step 9

You can now view your website at http://lancer.longwood.edu/yourlancernetid If there is a folder named "portfolio" that you want to point to, change the link to look like this:

http://lancer.longwood.edu/yourlancernetid/portfolio

If there is a file you want to point to in that folder named "resume.htm", the link would look like this:

http://lancer.longwood.edu/yourlancernetid/portfolio/resume.htm
